The cost of a layer cake is $12.96 plus $3.55 per layer. if paul has only $30 to spend on a cake ,what is the most number of layers he can afford

4 layers with $2.84  left over

Step-by-step explanation:

You start off with the cost of the cake which is $12.96, then add $3.55 (in this case 4 times) until you get the closest number to $30 without going over ($27.16) . You find the amount of money that is left over by subtracting you original amount ($30) with the amount you spent total on the cake ($27.16) .

"exterior angles = 360 / number of sides.

60 = 360 / sides

sides = 360 / 60

sides = 6"
